Great productThis is very good product. Very good quality for the price you pay. The only complaint is the covers but I guess you could get better ones.

It's About the OPTICSThe Glass clarity, precision of movement, able to handle shock and vibration, usable in low light situations and ease of use. That is what it is all about. You are able to bring the scope to your eye and capture the object in focus without strain. Be assured that the cross hair is right where it suppose to be giving you the confidence of your shot. I've compared the Nikon to others, including Leupold, and Nikon provides the best optic for your money. A great buy!

Seeing is believing!Outstanding piece of equipment. Excellent low light conditions. Everything you would expect and I could go on and on... Others complained about the "Lens Covers". They are right! The covers are no good, but you have to ask yourself...Are you buying a Scope? or Lens Covers? I bought the Scope and have no complaints. None! I'll give it seven stars to make up for the others.Still can't ask for a better scope.

Super Optics!Comon! The lens covers have absolutely nothing to do with the excellent optics of this scope. Gathers light better than a top line Leupold. All Monarchs are at the top of my list!

4-16X50 Monarch 3Ordered this scope because I've used my stepdad's 2.5-10X50 Monarch 3 and loved it. I just received my scope yesterday sighted it in and went hunting with it yesterday afternoon. Love the spring loaded zero turrets and the side parallax adjustment, they are dead on and work perfectly. He sight picture through the scope was amazing even closer to dusk with low light. The only complaint I do have is the the lens covers are not of real good quality, the flip up parts don't lock into the rubber parts very well. That's the only thing that kept me from giving a 5 star, other than that really impressed with everything else.
